Is the Crimean air defense umbrella capable of leveling the potential of B-1B missile carriers? Operation "with an eye" on the Black Sea Fleet

62

Despite the fact that a pair of strategic bomber bombers B-1B “Lancer”, flying May 29, 2020 along the western and southwestern air lines of Russia (including the western near approaches to the Republic of Crimea) and practicing the application (“digital launches” virtual models) of low-visibility tactical long-range cruise missiles AGM-158B JASSM-ER and their anti-ship version AGM-158C LRASM, was taken by Russian Su-27P fighter-interceptors and Su-30CM multi-functional fighters literally a few minutes after reaching neutral air the space above the Black Sea from the “non-occupied” airspace, an impressive number of observers-patrons of domestic military-analytical publications questioned the ability of the S-300PM2 / S-400 VKS deployed in the vicinity of Sevastopol and the S-300B4 and “S-2B3 and“ anti-aircraft missile batteries Buk-M1 / XNUMX "Russian air defense reflect a massive strike B-XNUMXB with the opinion of the above subtle means of air attack.

As the most compelling argument in favor of this opinion, the knowledgeable audience of Runet in general and Military Review in particular cited the ability of strategic missile carriers B-1B "Lancer" to launch long-range, inconspicuous cruise missiles JASSM-ER and their anti-ship analogs LRASM from ultra-low heights, overcoming Crimean anti-air / anti-missile zones of restriction and prohibition of access and the A2 / AD maneuver by hiding behind the “screen” the radio horizon from the backlight radars and guidance of the 30N6E2 / 92N6E and 9C32M families included in the S-300PM2 / S-400 and S-300V4 air defense radar architecture, respectively .



What will the VKS anti-aircraft missile forces and Russian military air defense contrast with the American B-1B missile carriers in the area of ​​the Crimean zone A2 / AD?


Indeed, at first glance, this opinion is fully true, because the range of the radio horizon for low-altitude targets (20-50 m) for 39N40E6 / 30N6E backlight radars located on 2-meter universal towers 92V6MD is only 38-50 km (excluding deployment to the towering plain terrain of the southwestern regions of the Republic of Crimea) and 95-107 km (taking into account the placement of antenna posts with the above radars on the gentle cuests of the outer western ridge of the Crimean Mountains, with a height of about 350 m). 9C32M guidance radars (not structurally adapted to be placed on 40V6M towers) and continuous-wave radars located on 15-meter lifting masts of 9A83M launchers, which are part of the S-300B4 advanced military anti-aircraft missile systems, will have a slightly lower indicator of the radio horizon.

Meanwhile, starting from the tactical and technical features of the AGM-158B / C missiles, as well as from the principles of functioning of guidance systems used in the latest modifications of the S-400 Triumph long-range anti-aircraft missile systems, as well as the S-300B4 military anti-aircraft missile systems and Buk-M3, it is not difficult to conclude that the above point of view of the audience is hardly true.

Firstly, with a range of 1200 and 800-900 km, respectively, subtle tactical JASSM-ER missiles and anti-ship long-range anti-ship missiles LRASM with practically identical mass and size parameters can be launched by B-1B strategic bomber bombers over the surface component of the Black Sea fleet in the littoral zone of Crimea and the coastal infrastructure of the Black Sea Fleet from the airspace of such countries of the North Atlantic Alliance as Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary and Poland. At the same time, having reached the launch limits of the above missiles, the carriers (B-1B missile carriers) will still remain outside the defeat zone of even the latest S-400 Triumph modifications, whose ammunition has 48N6DM missile interceptors (intercept range 250 km), and advanced military air defense systems S-400V4, equipped with ultra-long-range anti-aircraft missiles 9M82MV (range of about 350 km). Therefore, launches can be carried out not only from the very small, but also from great heights, without entering our A2 / AD air defense zones. And this means that there can be no talk of any "early interception of carriers by ground air defense systems."

Secondly, the ammunition of the updated modifications of the S-400, S-350 Vityaz air defense systems, as well as the S-300V4 and Buk-M3 military anti-aircraft missile systems and systems are represented by promising 9M96E / E2 / DM, 9M82MV and 9M317MA anti-aircraft missiles equipped with active radar homing heads of the "Slate" family, developed within the walls of the Moscow Research Institute "Agat". Built on the basis of slot-waveguide antenna arrays with full-fledged transmitting and receiving paths, as well as having terminals for an asynchronous two-way data line, these centimeter homing heads do not need continuous illumination from the backlight and guidance radars 92N6E of S-400, 50H6A complexes of Vityaz complexes ”, As well as continuous radiation / illumination radars of the S-300V4 systems and 9C36 illumination radars of the Buk-M3 complexes.

Consequently, the above anti-aircraft missile systems and their anti-missiles are capable of intercepting the approaching JASSM-ER and LRASM tactical missiles outside the radio horizon for target designation from third-party airborne radar reconnaissance equipment (including Aircraft A-50U / A-100 DRLOiU and Bars airborne radars -R / Irbis-E ”and Н036“ Squirrel ”of multi-functional fighters of transitional and 5th generation Su-30SM / 1, Su-35S and Su-57). At this point, all myths of the audience of the Russian military-political portals about the inability of the latest versions of the S-300V / 400 and Buk air defense systems to intercept the highly accurate weapon the enemy beyond the horizon due to the curvature of the earth's surface.

        Let us recall the massive attacks on Syria and Yugoslavia: these are always significant concentrations of carriers (Emsintsy, Aianossi, rescued large groups of aircraft, etc.).

        They will not appear "suddenly", which means that Russia will be ready to strike at them.

        They can start up (and they’re not sure what they’ll give), but there’s no one to produce the second one.

    The appearance of these bombers over the territory of Ukraine is, of course, a very alarming sign for us. From the territory of Ukraine they are capable of striking not only in Crimea and the grouping of troops and navy there, but also in other very important objects for us on the European territory of Russia. Therefore, the news about the new order of the S-350 and S-400 is becoming quite understandable.

          Yeah. If the air defense missile system receives target designation for those missiles and they fly approximately in the direction of the air defense system, why should they risk using the missile defense system with a possible miss over the horizon, and not wait a couple of minutes before entering the zone of confident destruction of the air defense system. We won’t be in a hurry :) And there they will raise the fighters.

    Still, probably not an impressive, but a long-formed certain "community" of those who have the "American best", Russian weapons -
    exclusively old Soviet developments, etc. This is perfectly visible on the VO website. Still, it is necessary to focus not on such "experts", but exclusively on serious military observers and experts in this field. But the appearance of American strategists from Ukraine is indeed another warning (no longer a bell) that this country is ready to provide and provides any opportunity to our potential adversary to strike at Russia. Today there was information that Romania in its military doctrine indicated our country as an enemy.

    I noticed that the idea prevails among Damantsev that it is necessary to fight not with the carrier but with the missiles launched by him.
    This is a dead end - in any case, all missiles cannot be intercepted, and the only way to counter B1B is with ZGRLS and intercepting the Su-35 using the R-37 long before launching the missiles from the carrier.
    Everything else is just catching fleas with unavoidable consequences: all the same, you can’t put air defense under every strategically important object, and if this crazy idea is realized, then such air defense can be overwhelmed with cruise missiles and destroyed anyway. This I have not yet touched on the absurdity of intercepting comparatively cheap missile launchers with high-cost missiles with ARLGSN.
    Only Su-35 (in the future, Su-57) can cope with such a threat. And there are 90 of them all over the country ...

            Yes, it seems. I probably will not be able to object adequately, and it is not necessary.
            I wonder if it is possible to rely on Broadsword and similar systems in melee defense. Nevertheless, the probable enemy, for the most part, uses subsonic missiles and relies on the overflow of an air defense ship. Maybe this solution ...

              It all depends on the adequacy of the radar - the accuracy of target tracking above all. According to the documents of AK-630, under the conditions of the thermal regime and ammunition, it will be enough to repel 3-4 attacks. Actually, the GARPUN AK-630 / MP-123 anti-ship missiles could have fallen with a probability of 0.4-0.5.

              436 fighters on the database and half of them are outdated ...


              Well, if all the same fighters and MFIs without bombers and attack aircraft come out
              Air Force:
              - newly built; 90 Su-35, 111-113 Su-30SM (including naval ones), 12Su-27cm3, 20 Su-30, 53 newly built MiG-29cmt Algerian and new order, including 8-9 UB.

                And the Broadsword? Still, in theory, a newer complex and the LMS should be better ...

                Total - 285 boards.


                Mig-29SMT seem to be in reserve, it is not clear why. Maybe the pilots are not enough trained.

                - modernized: 120 MiG-31, approximately 65-70 modernized Su-27cm / cm3.
                Total - 180-200 boards.


                The Su-27SM seem to be even more worn out than the Su-27P, since they were mercilessly driven to zero and their resource was consumed. Simple Su-27s have already been removed from the database since they are all inanimate. More or less there are "P" and "UB".
                On the MiG-31BM it is difficult to say how much they can stretch. Typically, a kapitalka for a fighter gives a couple of thousand hours of operation, and this is from 5 to 8-10 years depending on the intensity, given the fact that the Mig-31B and BS began to be distilled into BM from 2011, the very first modernized ones have a capital repair. The downside of this side is that there is no production of D-30F engines, and I don’t know how much current stock is enough. In theory, the Mig-31 case is eternal and only needs to change equipment (for example, radar for AFAR and engines ed. 30), but in the light of all these Poseidons and petrels they simply won’t give dough for that.
                - non-modernized: 30 MiG-29, about 50 Su-27S / P / UB.

                Mig-29S and SM were distributed to most Serbs, or Syrians, or LNA, and their combat value is quite low - most of them were released in the 88-90s and, taking into account how they were stored and used, they were all the same would be written off soon.
                Navy: - 12-15 Su-33, 22 MiG-29K / KUB.
                Total - 34-36 boards.
                Approximately goes in the area of ​​combatant 600 boards ...


                Su-33 will be extended to a maximum of 2030 and if they are capitalized.
                Su-27SM will not last until 2026 (most likely even earlier written off). Su-27P a little longer, but a maximum of a couple of years. Only the Su-27SM3 remains, their 24 pieces.
                MiG-31BM and BSM will need to be capitalized in the second round, and some of them will not survive this.
                it turns out that my figure is more accurate, alas.

                Half of the fleet is either on the verge of decommissioning, either outdated, or for some reason does not stand on the database (like the Mig-29SMT).
                In reality, 90 Su-35 and approximately 130 Su-30SM and M have prospects (minus the beaten ones).
                The plans were sort of like buying 50 Su-35s and 36 Su-30s. Even if you count 78 Su-57s and about 30 MiG-35s, then a maximum of about 2028 more fighters will arrive in the Air Force by 188. The minus will go under 200 boards.

                  Mig-29SMT seem to be in reserve, it is not clear why. Maybe the pilots are not enough trained.

                  Most likely the problem is in the pilots. But why the SMT was not sent to Eribuni I do not understand. However, according to rumors, a number of these sides have already been transferred to Astrakhan.
                  Mig-29S and SM were distributed to most Serbs, or Syrians, or LNA, and their combat value is quite low - most of them were released in the 88-90s and, taking into account how they were stored and used, they were all the same would be written off soon.

                  we have 18 old MiGs in Eribuni, + some more old cars in UAPs + Swifts.
                  Su-27SM will not last until 2026 (most likely even earlier written off). Su-27P a little longer, but a maximum of a couple of years.

                  Perhaps so, 5-7 years and mostly write off. We have a really newly built 12 Su-27SM3

                  If I remember the contracts correctly - 36 Su-30cm / d, 48 Su-35, 76 Su-57, 96 Su-34 / 34M. 6 MiG-35. + Undelivered 6 naval Su-30cm. Total - about 270 tactical aircraft.

                  And the Broadsword? Still, in theory, a newer complex and the LMS should be better ...

                  I don’t really know about the Broadsword, but I think that when launching the Harpoon ship with a small sweep, the Broadsword can be used to fire a couple of targets.

                    Perhaps the fact is that the Air Force kicks off the 29th series with arms and legs. I don’t know why they could dislike him, but there is no such attitude towards Mig-31. Either the matter is in combat capabilities, or there are problems with the service, but for some reason the attitude is traced. In Astrakhan, Migi depict the aggressors of EMNIP.

                    In 5-7 years, the decommissioning process will end, since they are decommissioning the Su-27 now. As I understand it, they will not upgrade them - too much needs to be redone, it comes out too expensive and the remaining airframe resource is too small, it is easier to buy a new Su-35. Why do I buy Su-35 per hour on a teaspoon, I do not understand. Yes, after 2025 it makes no sense to buy it, since there the Su-57 should go into a more or less large series, but by 2025 they could buy a hundred instead of the 48-50 35th.


                    If I remember the contracts correctly - 36 Su-30cm / d, 48 Su-35, 76 Su-57, 96 Su-34 / 34M. 6 MiG-35. + Undelivered 6 naval Su-30cm. Total - about 270 tactical aircraft.

                    Modernization of the Su-30SM to the capabilities of the Su-35 is one of the few reasonable and necessary ideas that came to the head of the Moscow Region. If at least a hundred Su-30SM are brought to SMD / SM1, then this is already something.
                    Mig-35 seems to have declared 30 pieces, including 6 UB contract for which was concluded a couple of years ago. As I wrote above, for some reason the military gets rid of the 29th series at any convenient opportunity. Whether this concerns the Mig-35 is unclear, but kmk, without AFAR it is not needed and it will also gather dust in reserve like the SMT.
                    That's about the need for the Su-34 I feel skepticism - after all, this is an IS in the Soviet sense of the term and it can only resist a very bad life to resist enemy fighters. It is clear that you don’t really have to choose, and NAPO needs to be supported, maybe it will reach a large order for Su-57 and KNAAPO capacities will not be enough to complete the entire order. But here is something I doubt ...
                    From the concept of information security it is necessary to go to greater multifunctionality and less different types of sides. In kraynyak you can do with hanging containers on the IFI, shock UAVs and long-range artillery. But this is IMHO.

                    If we add up all the potential contracts, we get about 594 fighters by 2028 and about 200 IS - Su-34 (M), maybe some more part of the Su-24M2 will be alive, but it is. Means, there will be approximately 800 boards including information security.

                      In his first appearance, he was destined for a marine multifunctional aircraft. But since adequacy and our admirals never coincide in space and time, THIS IT HAPPENED. Although for long flights over the sea, the Su-34 is quite suitable for itself than anything.

                      And it is necessary to put a double Su-35UB in a series on Irkut. Then it would be ideal to aim NAPO on the Su-34M series for the fleet. The need, in my opinion, is 12 squadrons (2 Kamchatka, 2 Vladik, 3 North, 2 Black Sea Fleet and 3 central subordination as a reserve for the Civil Command), and Komsomolsk - Su-57.

                        There is also a titanium "bathroom" in the form of a cockpit - the plane carries almost an extra ton and there is nothing to be done about it. Excess weight means less thrust and the inability to butt fighters, plus the radar is sharpened along the ground.

                        IMHO, Irkutsk already has enough government orders. Even with much larger orders for Drying, almost everything will go to KnAAPO and NAPO can take on the issue of export Su-57 or Su-35 for export + for itself (if there is such a need). Irkut flourished through supplies to India and later the Su-30SM for the Moscow Region. IMHO, so many sites for the production of aircraft can not afford, and many double Su-35s are not needed and KnAAPO will pull out this order itself, especially since there is a capital shortage of orders and a lot of free capacity. And Irkut ... Let them release the MS-21.

                        In general, the trend in the Air Force is bleak, the Moscow Region and some higher up aimed to develop everything in a row and nothing concrete, but the army will not get anything at all.

Although the vector, unlike VeMeF, is generally correct, however, the issues are also higher than the roof. So, in my opinion, when upgrading the Su-27S / P back to the SM model, it was necessary to unambiguously change the antenna in the N-001 station to PFAR Pero, which was actually proposed. Having driven the existing Su-27S / P through modern radar station by replacing the antenna with PFAR, the combat effectiveness of existing fighters would have significantly increased.

    And Crimea is only a small part of Russia and it will have to be held accountable to all of Russia.

    Well, the Americans are not so stupid as to strike at the main base of the Black Sea Fleet with that. The question is posed in principle as follows: is the air defense / missile defense system of Crimea capable of intercepting the first wave of impact. And what happens next is already the tenth matter. By the way, the same survivors of the B-1B raid will be able to and can fly in a second time. There are enough airfields in Europe, but we do not have enough charges for each airdrome. In addition, completely different cars can go the second wave, the same F-15E, F-16, F-35 and others

    Quote: Semenov Kolka
    I noticed that the idea prevails among Damantsev that it is necessary to fight not with the carrier but with the missiles launched by him.
    This is a dead end - in any case, all missiles cannot be intercepted, and the only way to counter B1B is with ZGRLS and intercepting the Su-35 using the R-37 long before launching the missiles from the carrier.

    Well, intercepting the carrier is preferable. Only now it will not always be possible. A strike from the Mediterranean will leave the B-1B unattainable. In addition, ZGRLS has a dead zone of about 900 km. So here, too, not everything is so simple and unambiguous ...
